Foxer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The body is in great form to receive the weathering powders. I especially like the rusty drips on the drivers side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcrabman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Awesome!!!......can't find the words to describe it. What did you use for the padding on the roll cage? And what did you use for the tape? Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Rich well i was on a thread where they used foaming sheetls to make seat upholstery for lowriders, and i though of that but to use it as paddin, i had to cut them with a #11 blade, to make them thin , to wrap around the styrene tube, then glued with loctite control glue, and the tape is tamiya masking tape painted with folkart acrilics, hope you understood me, feel free to ask, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've watched the build and still left speachless. Looks Dog Gone Great and an amazing eye for Details and the abilities to do it... Build on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just wanted to let you know that you actually made me want to watch the movie enough after looking at this build that I went out and bought it recently. A friend of mine has also let me borrow the original (death race 2000) from back in the day to watch too. So keep going, cause this is a really cool build and your doing an awesome job. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
